    The greenhouse is spiking all over the place but these are early and have been in flower for a month or two....

    Unfortunately, the P. Sogo hasn't a fragrance but I have a Phal Penang Gril x Bellina that fills the GH with a delicious purfume, especially on warm days....not too many of those in Michigan, now! This is a summer flowering phal and these flowers are what is left over....they seem to linger a very long time!

    Isn't it joyous to have spikes showing up on the phals this time of year?!? I literally jumped out of my skin when, after not really paying attention to them for several months, I found that 4 of my phals have developing spikes, and 1 (a leopard prince) has 2 spikes!! And it literally JUST stopped blooming from last time about 2 months ago!! They're on a roll!! Yours are especially beautiful, congratulations!!!!!!!!
